Featured Artists...
James Cecil Dickens started his music career in the late 1930's, performing on a local radio station while attending West Virginia University. He left school early to travel the country under the name of Jimmy the Kid. Finally, in 1948, Roy Acuff heard him and helped him with a record deal and get him into the Grand Ole Opry, where he adopted his current nickname Little Jimmy Dickens. After performing for decades, Little Jimmy is still as popular as ever. We caught up with him at a party to celebrate his 90th birthday, as well as a visit to The Palm in Nashville, where he will be forever immortalized. Click here for the party.
When most people think of Nashville, they think of country music. Fortunately, we do have lots of hot country music coming out of here, but there's a lot more to our Music City. The 26th annual Stellar Awards showcases the best in gospel music, and is an extremely popular event in Nashville held at the Grand Ole Opry. Cheryl Jackson headed out to the awards show to catch up with some of the biggest names in Gospel music. Check out the backstage action here.
It's not often that a husband and wife can do absolutely everything together...every minute of every day, and still get along just fine. Keifer and Shawna Thompson's two very different personalities and musical approaches found a perfect match together, both as a married couple and as the hot new duo Thompson Square. The couple has had success with their recent hit 'Are You Going To Kiss Me Or Not' and are releasing their self-titled debut album this week on Stoney Creek Records. We caught up with them to talk all about their new music. For more on Thompson Square, click here.
